# This is a skeleton for testing models including examples of validations, callbacks,
# scopes, instance & class methods, associations, and more.
# Pick and choose what you want, as all models don't NEED to be tested at this depth.

# I'm always eager to hear new tips & suggestions as I'm still new to testing,
# so if you have any, please share!

* Deliver each processed record promptly to its destination

Death to tabs, long live spaces

Do this

1. Fix any inconsistent indentation in your existing files, or Python code will break, since it considers a tab to be 8 and we're about to make it 4.

2. Populate .gitattributes in your repository, as below.

    *.py filter=spabs

The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

(by @andrestaltz)

So you're curious in learning this new thing called (Functional) Reactive Programming (FRP).

Learning it is hard, even harder by the lack of good material. When I started, I tried looking for tutorials. I found only a handful of practical guides, but they just scratched the surface and never tackled the challenge of building the whole architecture around it. Library documentations often don't help when you're trying to understand some function. I mean, honestly, look at this:

Rx.Observable.prototype.flatMapLatest(selector, [thisArg])

Projects each element of an observable sequence into a new sequence of observable sequences by incorporating the element's index and then transforms an observable sequence of observable sequences into an observable sequence producing values only from the most recent observable sequence.
